No, we should not condemn the use of DU. Pakistan uses depleted uranium in in its munitions and a ban on those would harm our army’s ability to defend the people against armoured attack.

The alternative to DU is tungsten, a very expensive metal that does not burn like DU does to cause secondary damage following a penetrating hit. Right now, Pakistan gets DU for free as a waste product of our nuclear reactors.

Condemning DU and banning it would force Pakistan’s army to spend vastly more money on tunsgten munitions that are not as effective as what we use today.

There were no armoured attacks to contend with in Fallujah.
